The evidence of distro patching is a sign we're not doing the best thing here. Maybe we can do the automatic verification only on small disks or those using a FAT filesystem? Anytime there's going to be a multi-minute check, that's just a completely unacceptable delay before the user can do what they wanted to do with their disk. Or maybe we can make the scan interruptible? So that if it takes more than a moment or two, you can click a button to stop the scan and mount immediately. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
